"A well thought out gig amp!"

Sound:
The big sound, the responsiveness when rolling back the guitar volume,the spongy feel, the blending in the band dynamics, the clarity that it gets at loud band volumes even at heavy overdrive/distortion, the solo notes! wow! it comes very scary close to all the tube amps I've already mention. After four rehearsals, two live gigs, two different bands, two completely different sound guys with different taste, I had nothing but good complements...There were times that if I didn't look back what's behind me I could've swore it was a tube amp! yes its that good. And for me, this is just the beginning of my software amp journey and so far so good. This amp so far exceeds my expectation and my negative bias towards software amps... I say this because I had a bad experience in the past concerning software amplifier and I will not mention those company's.. Lets move on. I must say, that if Fender is getting into this type of amps, who better does it than the real tube amp maker for 60+ yrs who's reputation is high! you know darn well R&D Fender is gonna wanna nail it down 100% and 90% is no exception... I have tried and heard others and the mustang is far ahead of the game! in fact it should be the standard! when I first received it, I thought I was gonna play it for about 20 seconds then call Zzounds.com for an RA#.
Feature:
The Features are somewhat limited. For example, if you wanted a delay that is always on and another delay that you could tap ahead of time for a certain part of a song, it wont happen here. Or if you wanted a overdrive to be your stand alone sound then kick in a compressor for solos, it wont make it. But if your the type of player like me who uses effects very sparingly, and of course it depends on what the songs call for! but relies basically on the amp/guitar sound and speaker, then your in for a great treat... I just wanna stress that the sound,the feel,the responsiveness of this amp far outweighs the limitations. And it is well thought out for a gigin player who doesn't use much effects, but it has plenty to chose from just in case you need it. And of course you need the four button switch to really get full use of the amp. Just minor limitations guys no brainer!
Ease of Use:
easy! just take your time,no brainer! fun factor is when you get into the FUSE baby!
Quality:
Very nice! it just needs metal corners. And yes its made in china! so as your NIKE shoes that your wearing right now while your reading this review. he! he!
Value:
excellent value for a software amp...
Manufacturer Support:
never had to deal with Fender for anything for as long as I've own and gig with Fender tube amps and guitars. But this is a software amplifier so will see.
The Wow Factor:
its hard to imagine that this is all software! and the extra bonus I like is its very light!!!
Yes! I am a Tube Snob! but after experiencing this amp, This amp is a keeper and no more expensive tubes to replace! I am also planning in the near future to purchase the mustang IV V2 2x12 version just cause I like this amp and the 2x12 version is in stereo.
Overall:
Lets get the record straight here, this amp will never come close to be a tube amp! because its not!
Secondly, I've been playing close to 30 yrs now and 20+ yrs of it is really playing live with different bands of almost all genres and styles. Blues, Jazz, funk, jazz Fusion, Pop Rock, hard Rock, Metal ,Shred Metal, Twang Rock, etc... done it all.
Thirdly I've own and gig with 1973 Marshall 50 watt Plexi, DSL 401, TSL Combo 2x12, Fender Twin, 65DR, Fender Hot rod deville, deluxe,blues jr, mesa boogie dual and triple rectifiers, mesa boogie nomad 2x12, peavey classic 50 2x12, 1x15, VOX AC30 2x12, Peavey 5150 2x12 and the list goes on! so I'm no stranger to tube amps.
The Mustang III V2 1x12 pretty much has all the amps I've gig with in the past as well as pedals that I pretty much use on a regular basis for gigs.

Style of Music: played almost all styles live! and that's the beauty of it!
